Fence-dwellers? Enablers? Invertebrates?

Trouble is that the status quo in the western world is capitalism, which is inherently right-wing. So if you’re anywhere near the “centre” you’re broadly in favour of it, ergo somewhat right-wing. This is where the addage that there are no left-wing parties in the US comes from.

In my experience most people who identify as centre-left are usually more right-wing than they feel they are.

Also, civilsation is going to be brought to its knees by climate change in the coming decades.

Feels somewhat immoral to put someone you love through that.

I have somewhat of a pet extension to projection theory… Many people who are anti-gay think that it is a choice as they themselves have made that choice. ie. They are repressed bisexual/gay.

Completely unsubstantiated with no evidence but I find it fun to think about as it would explain their complete misunderstanding of it not being a choice. “I made the tough choice and am living with it, why can’t they?!”
